This thread made me think of something DH said to me once. We were talking about gardening at the time, and my tendency to use botanical names for plants instead of common names. My goal was accuracy in plant ID since I was a Master Gardener at the time. Some people thought I was just showing off that I knew those things and others eyes just glazed over when I talked about why it was important. So I was expressing my frustration to DH one day and he said, "I know honey, and I'm sure it must be very interesting to anyone who happens to be interested in it."
LOL
So I, too, am grateful for this board full of people who happen to be interested in what I am interested in talking about!!!
